Don't Be A Dick - Happy Hour - It's New Orleans

Published: Nov. 29, 2017, 6 a.m.

b'Remy Robert rhymes with Amy Snowbear is, among other things, a professional matchmaker at a new startup called Tawkify where you can get hooked up with another human by another human, not an app. There are a lot of layers and nuances to this as you will hear in this conversation but Remy distills the the sum of her knowledge of relationships into this simple admonition Don t be a dick. Apparently just being yourself is enough to win over the right person, if you can find him or her. When she s not hooking people up, Remy s life consists of hanging out with famous chefs like Alon Shaya, translating their prodigious skills into simple enough language to become recipes in a cookbook. Her next cookbook is a Mad Libs inspired culinary adventure. And after that she just might be concocting a book with Chef Kenneth Temple. Chef Kenneth Temple is the recent winner of the prestigious TV cooking show, Chopped. He s been a personal chef to Lil Wayne and other celebrities Lil Wayne likes chicken wings and he s just published a cookbook with 75 of his favorite signature recipes, called Southern Creole. If you re a betting person you could pretty safely bet on Chef Kenneth becoming a big deal celebrity chef and media star. But don t expect him to follow any well worn path. His current cooking show is on Facebook and it s a vast departure for anything you ve seen before. NOLA FAM are charting their own path through the world of Hip Hop. Happy Hour favorites, Moni explains how he has undergone a persona change, inspired by the 1986 Saab Turbo S. He s not kidding. Like the Saab, Moni is nearly invisible, but reliable and fast, and that s how he s come to be called 900. The other half of NOLA FAM used to be known as Q Hefner but is now known as Q The Don. The genesis of these identity change is the imperative of rhyme and while you re betting on Chef Kenneth put a side bet on NOLA FAM. As 900 says, "Things are bubbling." Take a listen to their music on this show, these guys are definitely onto something. Photos at Wayfare by Hope Byrd.
